While much of Roquefort production is controlled and regulated by AOC standards, Maison Carles takes extra measures where permitted to produce the best possible version.  For more than 80 years, they have produced their Roquefort by hand.  They draw their milk from a farm just south of Aveyron which they own themselves.  Even their penicillium roqueforti is made themselves, grown on loaves of rye bread produced by a local bakery.  All of this together produces a version of Roquefort that has more subtle and delicate flavor than others.  There is a striking harmony between the flavors of the pastures that shine through and the richness of the milk.
